I wasn't kidding when I said I'm really into plaid lately. And I mean, really into it. Especially when it's a plaid flannel. It's just so cozy and soft and if it's going to be cold out I might as well be wrapped in something that evokes images of toasty log cabins, hot chocolate (with marshmallows, obviously) and fireplaces. Even if I'm schlepping around the concrete sidewalks of D.C. and Virginia, miles away from this winter wonderland I've dreamed up in my head.

And, seriously, if you're interested in stocking up, Forever 21 has an amazing selection right now. As always, their prices can't be beat, and they have so many different patterns! Their cozy sweater game is also out of control right now -- in a good way -- so make sure to check that out, too!

P.S. So in love with this lip color from the new Maybelline Color Elixir collection! It's the perfect fall red and is a great complement to my flannel, don't you think!? Thanks to Refinery 29 and Maybelline for giving me the chance to test it out!
